Internationally acclaimed comedian Jimmy Carr is set to make his return to Newcastle, with the announcement that his Laughs Funny tour will take the stage at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre on Wednesday, 11 March 2026.
Carr, one of the UK’s most recognisable comedians, is best known for his razor-sharp one-liners, quick wit, and unmistakable laugh. Over the past two decades, he has built a reputation as one of the hardest working comics in the business, performing thousands of shows across the globe and selling more than a million tickets worldwide.
The Laughs Funny tour promises audiences exactly what Carr is celebrated for: cutting-edge jokes delivered with precision timing and an unapologetically dark sense of humour. His performances often push boundaries, sparking conversations long after the show ends, and this latest tour has already been playing to sold-out crowds in cities across the UK and Europe.
Newcastle fans can expect a night of comedy that is not for the faint-hearted. Carr has described this tour as one that will challenge audiences to laugh at subjects others might avoid, leaning into the type of comedy that has made him a household name on both stage and screen.
Alongside his stand-up career, Carr has become a familiar face on television, particularly in the UK where he has hosted popular panel shows such as 8 Out of 10 Cats and The Big Fat Quiz of the Year. His Netflix specials have also earned him a global following, ensuring his tours attract audiences from all corners of the world.
The Newcastle Entertainment Centre, one of the Hunter Region’s largest indoor venues, is expected to draw a capacity crowd for the March show. Local comedy fans are being urged to secure tickets early, with demand anticipated to be high given Carr’s track record of sell-out performances across Australia.
Tickets for the Laughs Funny tour are available now through bohmpr.io/jimmycarr.
Jimmy Carr’s appearance in Newcastle is part of his wider Australian tour, which will see him perform in major cities and regional centres throughout the country in 2026. For those who enjoy bold, biting comedy delivered by one of the sharpest minds in stand-up, this is a show not to be missed.
